Even Sun Xiaohong had obtained the invitation card through a friend's friend. He is just a fruit seller's son, so how was he able to enter such a high-class venue?
This is ridiculous!
The people present on the scene were either officials from the city hall or business tycoons, each of them had a high status. Even the waiters passing by him were university students and all of them wore clothes of superior quality than him.
Jiang Xiu standing inside the clubhouse was as conspicuous as a beggar entering a restaurant.
"Jiang Xiu, why are you here?"
The two girls, Ouyang Qian and Li Dan, went forward to meet him.
Jiang Xiu was stuffing cakes into his mouth; Divinity Cultivation utilizes a lot of energy so it was easy to get hungry. Moreover, he was now in the primary stage of Divinity Cultivation and just like a baby Divinity, a large amount of food was required. His cheeks were puffing out from the number of cakes eaten, which just looked more disgusting from their point of view.
"To make money!"
"You?"
Jiang Xiu also felt it was unexpected that he'd see them here. There were review classes in the evening and they were all pretty studious students. So, he wondered why they had skipped school to attend the party.
"It's possible to get acquainted with a lot of high ranking officials in these kinds of parties, it's pretty useful towards our futures…"
Ouyang Qian still hadn't finished speaking when Ye Wenchen came walking in an elegant manner with his hands in his pockets, intruding into the conversation, "Qianqian, why are you even explaining all of that to him? He wouldn't understand any of it."
Ouyang Qian giggled, "Oh! You're right!"
As far as they were concerned, a child of a poor family like him didn't understand the importance of socializing in order to enter the upper-class circle.
Ye Wenchen asked, "Jiang Xiu, how did you enter this place?" The tone he used was quite ill-natured, resembling an interrogation.
"Is there any need for this Deity to explain it to you?"
"You…"
Ye Wenchen didn't expect that this brat wouldn't give him any face in public; this put him in an awkward situation, making his complexion paler, "This is a high-level clubhouse, not a place where a person whose family runs a fruit stall can walk into."
Swoosh. The surrounding people made a commotion when they heard that Jiang Xiu's home ran a fruit stall.
Everyone exposed contempt in their gazes.
Ouyang Qian said, "I guess you were brought inside by your girlfriend."
"Girlfriend? Even a person like him has a girlfriend?"
"Who's his girlfriend?"
To be able to bring a person like Jiang Xiu inside the clubhouse, they guessed it had to be a daughter of a rich family. They pondered who had become so blind and unruly that they were keeping such a poor youngster.
"Ye Bing! The daughter of the Ye Conglomerate."
Swoosh. The surroundings were in an uproar again.
"Is that true?"
Everyone was quite shocked. The Ye Conglomerate had several companies in Jiang City and was also one of the top tycoons in Jiangnan province. Many sons of bigwigs were trying to win the heart of the Ye family's daughter. How can she choose a fruit seller? Isn't this being too willful?
"It seems like Director Ye's here today."
A refined middle-aged man seamlessly entered the inner area with a wine cup in hand, accompanied by a friend, but his eyes possessed a grim tone in its depths. He was Ye Bing's father and the boss of the Ye Conglomerate, Ye Liliang.
"I know about the Ye family's daughter, she's quite pretty. How can she…"
Many of them shook their heads while sighing.
"Maybe she's just playing around."
Hearing all this, even Jiang Xiu felt puzzled. Why does Ouyang Qian think Ye Bing is my girlfriend? Did Liu Xiaoyun reveal it? Although he felt astonished, Jiang Xiu had no intentions of giving an explanation. There was no need for Deity Xiu to give an explanation to others. He merely shook his head, "No!"
"Do you have an invitation card then?"
"No!"
Everyone was confused now, "How did you come in?"
The requirements for obtaining the invitation card for this party were pretty harsh as this wasn't a business-type party. Even a few of the rich people were unable to attend it because it involved a very classified matter that couldn't be revealed to the masses or else it'd give rise to mass-panic.
"You didn't sneak in, right?"
Ye Wenchen narrowed his eyes, brazenly putting out a baseless speculation.
Yet everyone's thoughts were in sync with this speculation.
"Jiang Xiu, leave this place!"
Seeing that everyone approved of his judgement, Ye Wenchen became convinced that Jiang Xiu had slipped inside by avoiding the security guards.
He assumed a commanding look as if he was this party's host.
"What if this Deity doesn't leave?"
"Don't stall until you're forced to do so. This isn't a place where you can behave as you wish. Quickly get lost from here."
A cold gleam flashed through Jiang Xiu's eyes.
He was about to open his mouth when a man walked in through the crowd and raged out, "What's going on here? Who dares to cause trouble at Belden?"
"It's Belden's Yang Yong."
"Dayum, even the boss has arrived. It seems like this youngster's done for. Just what does he think Belden is? It's not a place where a person like him can come eat and drink as he wishes!"
Swoosh. Everyone made a commotion yet again.
The gazes towards Ye Wenchen changed immediately. Actually, the boss of Belden was Ye Wenchen's Second Uncle. He was really someone who had a background. Ye Wenchen enjoyed the gazes of admiration, it made him feel he was different from everyone else.
And this also explained the reason why Ye Wenchen was able to obtain an invitation card so easily when it was difficult to get one.
Yang Yong looked towards Jiang Xiu, "This Mister, do you have an invitation card?"
"Please take it out for me."
"Why do you want to check if this Deity has an invitation card just because he's questioning it?"
Yang Yong said, "Because Sir looks unfamiliar. I don't dare to say I know all of Jiang City's upper-class circles but I'm familiar with most, yet I don't remember someone like Sir."
"Is that reason enough?"
Ye Wenchen added in, "Second Uncle, his family runs a fruit stall."
Pfft!
The surrounding people laughed. Young Master Ye, aren't you being too mean? Don't reveal it, wouldn't that put him in an awkward situation.
But there was no smile on Yang Yong's face, "I'll have to trouble you to take out the invitation card."
His heart trembled. If someone had really snuck into the club, that would mean he'd lose his job. With how bad Old Father's nature was, he'd be held accountable for sure. Fortune indeed shines among misfortune. Lucky that this was discovered in the outer hall, if it had happened in the inner hall and those seniors were offended, I would have lost my job.
"Jiang Xiu's out of luck this time."
Ouyang Qian and Li Dan looked at each other, exposing a look of schadenfreude. While completely forgetting the matter of Jiang Xiu saving them at Entertainment City, yet only remembering that he was just a somebody for them.
Lin Shu said, "You don't even have any face. Your home runs a fruit stall, you think you can feign to be a rich person and infiltrate such a high-class party?"
Cheng Lingsu shook her head, her beautiful brows locking together as she bowed down, "Mom, why don't you go help him so that Belden doesn't bother him too much."
No matter what, Jiang Xiu was her childhood playmate.
Sun Xiaohong said, "Are you insane, my daughter? If mama steps in, wouldn't that reveal the relationship between him and our family?"
"That'd make us lose face too!"
"That…"
Jiang Xiu said, "This Deity doesn't need an invitation card. Belden has spent a big amount to make this Deity appear as a guest and directly brought this Deity inside."
"Hahaha.."
Ye Wenchen started laughing so much that he started tearing, "Jiang Xiu, oh Jiang Xiu. Do you even have any face left? Why don't you go look at yourself in the mirror first before boasting?"
Everyone shook their heads, feeling speechless. Their gazes were filled with contempt and disdain.
Such a thing was unheard of. He was saying that the organizer had spent money to invite him when he didn't even know the price of an invitation card. Can't you at least weave a better lie?
This is too excessive.
"Throw this person out and notify the police that this person is trespassing." In the capacity of Belden's boss, he was naturally clear that they never spent money to invite someone. He was 100% sure that Jiang Xiu had snuck in.
Ye Wenchen sneered, "Jiang Xiu, your standing, and mine are simply different. You can only get lost if I want you to."
"Get lost!"
All of the surrounding people heckled. Jiang Xiu was like a housefly to them and each of the upper-class groups were xenophobic. They thirsted for privileges or else they wouldn't have come to such a high-class clubhouse by holding off a majority of the others outside.
"Get lost!"
Ye Wenchen's attitude was that of a winner's, his body straight and gaze looking on with disdain as if he was teaching a lesson to an unremarkable plebeian. Yes, to him, just acting out to handle Jiang Xiu was already showing high regard.
Suddenly, a voice which made everyone shiver echoed out, "Who dares to tell my guest to get lost?"
